Fusing the latest X299 enthusiast chipset with the phenomenal power of the Intel Skylake-X architecture, ensures you’ll be joining the ranks of top-tier enthusiasts, unlocking never-before-seen performance in the very latest games & applications.

All Intel Core-X CPUs are primed for Overclocking with their unlocked CPU multipliers, power, base clock and DDR4 memory ratios. The Core i7 7820X comes with a base clock of 3.6 GHz, & 4.3 GHz Turbo, offering never-before-seen performance out of the box, while leaving the potential open for it to be pushed even further. Combined with support for quad-channel DDR4 memory, & up to 28 lanes of PCIe 3.0, this processor destroys any & all mainstream rivals.

Combining this CPU with the TUF X299 MARK 2 from ASUS, you can rest assured of this Motherboards quality, extreme-durability, & performance. ASUS is well known, the world over for producing only the highest quality PC components: A fact that is attested to by our 3XS system engineers whom almost exclusively use ASUS mainboards in our award-winning, professionally-built Scan 3XS computer systems. Using the X299 chipset ensures that the ASUS TUF X299 MARK 2 can take advantage of the 7820X’s 28 PCIe lanes for Multi-Way Graphics or several PCIe NVMe SSDs, in addition to Quad-Channel memory which doubles the maximum bandwidth of dual-channel memory found on mainstream platforms. ASUS also packs in their own technologies & features including Aura Sync RGB lighting, TUF Components, & ASUS Pro Clock II technology. FeaturesIntel Core i7 7820X CPU Features:• Extreme Design: Uses the latest Skylake-X Enthusiast Architecture.• Octa-Core: 8 Cores with Hyper-Threading for ultimate multi-threaded performance.• Fast Clocks: 3.6GHz Base Clock, which boosts up to 4.3GHz.• Turbo Boost Max 3.0: Intel Turbo Boost Max Technology 3.0 can boost the CPUs Two best performing cores past 4.3GHz up to 4.5GHz.• Unlocked: Unlocked CPU multiplier allows enthusiasts to easily push their CPU to its limits.• Massive Bandwidth: Support for up to 128GB of DDR4 in a Quad-Channel Configuration provides exceptional memory bandwidth.• Lots of Cache: 11MB of Intel Smart Cache helps ensure consistently high performance.• More Lanes: 28 PCIe Lanes give you the flexibility you need for more complicated Multi–GPU or NVMe PCIe SSD setups.

These are exciting times to be in the market for a new CPU. AMD is back in the game with its competitive Ryzen processors, while Intel has upped the ante in the enthusiast space with a refresh of its High-end Desktop (HEDT).

You're not dreaming, folks: competition really has returned to the consumer CPU landscape. AMD is back in contention following the launch of its well-received Ryzen processors, and Intel is responding with a range of chips that form the eagerly anticipated Core X-Series.
